International student success at Tulane University begins with OISS Orientation! It is designed to help you:
- Meet OISS staff and learn about university resources;
- Comply with government regulations pertaining to your stay in the U.S;
- Become comfortable with the local community and U.S. culture; and
- Meet people and make friends from around the world.
Studies show the benefits of participating in orientation programs. Faculty members and advisors see a marked difference in the preparedness and success of students who have participated in orientation.
All new F-1 undergraduate international students will follow the Hullaballoo Hello schedule. Here are the OISS programs that you will attend as part of the schedule!
